bhobba replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.Yes, EFT is a issue for the orthodox interpretation. Even worse is if you take the relativistic limit of QFT, you still have the...

By the paper cited, we now know much better than we used to know....

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert...

thank you, yes.

And having it confirmed by making predictions that previously were not made, and which turn out to be right.

By proposing a further explanation. Until this happens there is no explanation, just as a book does not exist until someone writes it.

bhobba replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.Well said, as usual, Peter. One of my great joys in life, now that I am older, is engaging in thoughtful discussions. I am a Patrion...

In the MWI, that doesn't "impose probabilities"--it just means that "we experience" has to be interpreted very...um, carefully. In...

bhobba replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.Not in the assumptions. However, when relating it to everyday experience, probabilities are imposed on us - we experience only a single...

Even this is interpretation dependent. In the MWI, for example, the unitary evolution of the state is completely deterministic, even...

bhobba replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.Of course they don't. But they have the power to suggest insight about the world we inhabit, and, if we are lucky, ways to test that...

bhobba replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.Interesting point. The trouble I have with semantic answers to deep questions is whether we have really made progress. These days...

bhobba replied to the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement?.How about Glaeson's theorem? It means the state is a vector space, which is the rock bottom of entanglement, and as an aside, why QM is...

If I understand what you're saying, that sounds like the complement of @Demystifier argument. We start with a macroscopic system that...
